Kuopio Market Square, Market square and Cultural Heritage Site in Multimäki district, Kuopio, Finland.
The square measures 130 by 174 meters and features a surface made of dice and nubile stone, with flat walkways crossing east to west.
The market square was established in 1818 after relocating from Gustav Market, following a town plan designed by surveyor Pehr Kjellman in 1775.
Local residents refer to the square as Mualiman napa, meaning center of the universe, reflecting its central role in community gatherings and events.
The square is bordered by Tulliportinkatu to the north, Puijonkatu to the east, Kauppakatu to the south, and Haapaniemenkatu to the west.
The market structure rests on a deep sand mattress of 10 to 15 meters, built over a ridge formation extending from Väinölänniemi toward Puijo.
